Sharon, by default, when you turn on the camera, the camera is already in a regular picture taking mode. However, when you use your finger to turn the zoom control slider switch which is directly below the shutter button, then the camera goes into the zoom (telephoto) feature. Just slide this zoom control switch all the way to the left for regular picture taking. Anyhow, go to the Panasonic support web site and download the instructions manual. Also, in the camera menu setup features, there is a option for turning off digital zoom. I think that is what you mean (?????). Sharon, please take the time to read and really play (experiment) with all the camera features. I plan on selling this model because the images are not up to my standards. Instead, I just purchased the Sony HX200V and the images are way better than the Panasonic FZ60K. Chuck

I use bulb setting as well. This feature works best when you have a remote that is capable of being locked so you don't have to personally hold open the shutter for the duration of the shot.

Very simple the change the batteries. Keep in mind that once you open the battery door your camera will shut off.

There's a menu when you ping the camera 192.168.0.178 I think it's under advanced settings you can set the LED to off so it doesn't blink...

Go to the DRO settings (Dynamic Range Optimizer) and turn it off completely. Make sure it's not in "Auto". The DRO is very useful in extreme lighting situations and to lift exposure in the dark areas of a photo. It's almost like the HDR mode but only with one shot.

To turn off the Zoom >press the Menu button on the back of the camera. You will see a icon with a camera and under it is a list of options, Digital is the 3rd one down > press the left side of circle around Func. Set to turn off.

There is a setting for that. I no longer use that camera, but I remember that you can disable that. Check in all settings, maybe some setting about clock.

Thanks, I was afraid of that. A friend that bought it will probably be returning this camera because of the lack of that feature. :(

Make sure your camera is in the mode to use the remote. I had a problem as well at first and then realized my camera was not in the mode for remote use.

You can either manually hold shutter button or 'lock' it down. This is on the receiver on (attached to the camera), NOT with the wireless remote.

Yes, you can turn it on/off in the menu.I'd also recommend looking at the TCL SVC-200 which has a similar camera format but runs for 2 hours instead of the 80 mins of the SJ3000. Review here http://www.techmoan.com/blog/2013/11/10/svc200-is-the-best-100-action-camera-ive-found-so-far.html

Yes, you need to get in to the additional settings in the camera. Go to menu "D", on the third screen you'll see the second item that looks like a dot with waves coming from it, turn that off.

This camera has a button to adjust the setting on it. You will need to play with it to adjust. Sounds like you have it set on mirror which is reverse.

There should be a switch on the cord with an on/off button. Or try turning the lens.

No, just only set shoot mode to "remote shoot" or something like that (press at the left side of the wheel on the camera). And remove (pull) plastic cover from the remote unit to make battery connected and supply the unitIf does not work - either camera or unit is not fully operational then.

To turn off the digital zoom, press the MENU button, choose the picture of the "CAMERA" tab, and choose [Digital Zoom] and the [Off] option. You have to use the the buttons on the wheel lightning or macro side to scroll through the options.

If you have it attached to a power switch inside the house just turn it off. The unit will revert to giving a warning when turned back on and begin taking photos or clips again.
